Young Entrepreneur on the news.

[Ian]

I was watching the news just now and they had this guy, aged 15, dyslexic, left school at 12 years of age and went on a vocational learning course, now he's running some confectionary business out of his home, british supermarket chain Waitrose is very interested in his product, which are chocolates with the box actually made out of chocolate (in a cardboard sleeve), I tell ya I was surprised when he said that...talk about a brainwave, apparently he just thought one day "Why don't we make the boxes out of chocolate?" and the novelty is very popular apparently.

So yeah, I take back my comments about younger teens, I've been inspired.

Any comments? criticisms? seen it on the news too?

I really like how entrepreneurship brings out the best qualities in people (creativity, sense of purpose etc)...I also appreciate how it brings out the worst qualities just as well

It's a commonality that entrepreneurship has with religion...which makes it all so much more bloody interesting... anyway..

I for one salute this fellow you're talking about! :-)

[Ian]

Well, I guess thats what us Brits call sods law...

Look up the news story if you can, this guy's a bloody inspiration to us all I think!

I remember seeing him around the forums... wonder if he's still here?

[Ian]

Well thats ironic, never know maybe he'll see this thread and comment if he's still here. ;]

Would be good to have a chat with him, seems to be quite up on things..

That is crazy.

Life has a habit of being "crazy" we've still got to live it.

I think when circumstances push us to be creative when tend to think out of the box idea.. but great idea isn't enough.. must have great will power to do it
